Tumblr blocked in Indonesia for providing people in Muslim-majority country with access to porn

Tumblr has been banned in Indonesia for providing people with access to pornographic content. The communications ministry said the block – which means nobody in the country can access the blogging platform – came after complaints about hundreds of accounts that provided pornography. The country has stepped up efforts to police the kind of content available online. It has been trying to stem a rise in hoax stories and hate speech, and anti-pornography laws pushed by Islamic parties in the country have led tens of thousands of adult websites to be taken offline. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.
